I couldn't quite get the remote printing working on PCNFS within
Windows 3.0. It did work outside the WIN3.0 environment.
Basically, I put 'net use lpt2: \\server_name\printer_name'
in network.bat. Window 3.0 applications couldn't print off
lpt2 at all. Any help would be appreciated.

Any help would be appreciated. Within Windows, configure the PC-NFS printer to point to lpt2:OS2 (or some similar extension) in the Control Panel/Printers/Configure menu. -- iNDRA | indra@amd.com or {ames apple uunet}!amd!indra | (Indra Singhal) (408) 749-5445; Advanced Micro Devices | MS 167; Box 3453; 901, Thompson Pl., Sunnyvale, CA 94088

Any help would be appreciated. In WINDOWS 3.0, Printer Congigurations, change port from LPT2, to LPT2.OS2 This tells the print manager or spooler to hand the output data over to DOS and allow the operating system to control the printer handler for you. We do it here, works like a champ. -------- Dan Aksel
